Travelling on weekends
We encourage you to see as much of the UK and Europe as possible while you are here. Programme Assistants will organise a number of optional weekend excursions throughout the summer. You are also welcome to travel on your own or with friends on your weekends but please make sure that you sign out before you leave and sign in when you get back so that we know when you are away from Cambridge. The sign-out book is kept in the Programme Office.

Visas to travel in the EU
Students who are citizens of EU countries and a number of other countries do not need a visa to travel around the EU. Please check with the relevant government agency before travelling.

If you need a visa, the Schengen Visa is used to visit European countries which are part of the Schengen Agreement, and this must be obtained at an embassy or consulate of the first Schengen country you will enter. For example, if the first country you wish to visit is France, you will need to check with your nearest French Embassy or Consulate, and the Schengen Visa you obtain will allow you to travel in other Schengen countries. For further information on travelling around the EU visit the EU's official website.

Citizens of certain countries will need an Irish visa if they wish to visit the Republic of Ireland. For more information visit the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs.
